Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If ΔG is negative, what does it indicate about the reaction?
  • Step 1: Understand what ΔG means. ΔG is the change in free energy of a reaction.
  • Step 2: Know that free energy helps us understand if a reaction can happen on its own.
  • Step 3: Recognize that a negative ΔG value means the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.
  • Step 4: Realize that when ΔG is negative, it means the reaction can occur without needing extra energy.
  • Step 5: Conclude that a negative ΔG indicates the reaction is spontaneous, meaning it will happen naturally.
